Cleanroom Operating Procedures
We are building an ISO Class 7 (formerly Class 10,000) modular cleanroom on our university campus. Our students will wear bouffants, shoecovers, and frocks. Is there a gowning protocol for frocks?We also need procedures for cleaning the modular cleanroom and working in the cleanroom.
Testing ESD Garments
Is it appropriate to test an ESD garment on an operator?
Arc Thermal and Flame Resistant Cleanroom Garments
My company’s Health & Safety Committee requires all cleanroom operators that perform maintenance on equipment in the cleanroom to wear protective garments that are arc thermal and flame resistant. What garments comply with cleanroom standards and are arc thermal and flame resistant? What is the gowning configuration and protocol? Do all cleanroom personnel have to wear cleanroom FR garments in the cleanroom?

The Human Element
Minimizing contamination risks in sterile gowning Strict cleanroom cleanliness and sterility is a priority in some lifesciences industries like pharmaceutical manufacturing. If contaminated with microorganisms, products manufactured in sterile cleanrooms must be scrapped — a costly proposition in any economy.
Testing Consumable Products For Cleanrooms
It is recommended that when comparing cleanroom consumable products manufactured by several vendors that all products be tested at the same lab, with the same test method, and by the same technician. What test methods are recommended for cleanroom consumable products?

Using the right techniques and procedures can make cleaning sterile compounding areas a matter of routine.
Environmental Consciousness in Cleanroom Consumables Selection and Use
How can the expectations of natural resource conservation and waste elimination be achieved in highly critical cleanroom manufacturing environments?
Case Study: Exhaust Duct Decontamination Using Chlorine Dioxide Gas
The exhaust ductwork in a laboratory at a major pharmaceutical company in North Carolina needed replacement. Since the ductwork was used to exhaust BSCs for testing on HIV and HCV, special precautions would be required during the demolition. These special precautions would add cost, complexity, as well as a level of risk to the demolition crew. The typical method of demolition is to have the construction crew wear protective suits with proper PPE and masks.
